Dr. Synder is our primary care doctor for our family of five. He has an engaging manner and is very easy to talk with. That's important to us. He is caring and takes the time to fully explain things easily and completely. We are very happy with the level of care we receive and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others. We sincerely hope he sticks around with Ferndale Family Medicine a long time! Thank you Dr. Synder.

First visit with Dr. Snyder (I had previously been with another MD in the practice). I appreciated that he was easy to talk to and took an active interest in my situation. He was open and engaging, and seemed knowledgeable about the issues I raised. This visit was for a routine physical.

it was a great experience, everyone was so nice and helpful. Dr Snyder is a wonderful doctor, he takes his time with us, I have never felt rushed. He was running late for this appointment and he made the point of letting me know of this in advance. If you are looking for a new primary doctor, I would highly recommend Dr Snyder. You will not be disappointed!

Dr Snyder saw my wife after she twisted her ankle and called his office. He has made time in his appointment schedule for such unplanned injuries. His care was professional and thorough.

Dr. Snyder is easily the best and most compassionate doctor i've ever found. He listens closely and believes you. And he has a great sense of humor that makes time with him enjoyable. I don't fear going to the doctor any more since I have come under his care. And that says a lot. Will always be his patient
